Note - this is Day 11 of 25 of Mercury Retrograde. In case you missed it, Mercury turned Retrograde (Rx) on Monday, April 1st. You may want to click back and read the RED FONT ADDENDUM to catch some of the ideas I gave you for using Mercury Retrograde to your advantage.

The BIG NEWS today is the Sun in Aries conjunct Mercury Rx in Aries. I'm going to take a simpler approach to this aspect than I usually do and get to the point quickly.

The Sun conjunct Mercury is the typical 'overloaded circuitry' or it can show up as 'brain fog'. It's can reveal itself as too much information (TMI) or lack of focus (mental clarity) because of the amount of thoughts and ideas layered on the brain. It is simply too much information to think, handle or respond easily.

But then there is the 'brain dump'. The relief of this aspect can be as easy as dumping your brain and getting out what you need to say, teach or relieve from yourself. Get it out! Let it out!

Imagine if you will eating something that binds you up and causes you constipation. You can't get it out. I don't have to go through the entire list of symptoms for you to feel the effects of constipation. You can probably feel it as I write about it.

Imagine your frustration with a situation, person, circumstance or outcome where you just want to scream, push something over or curl up in the corner and cry, but yet you don't.

Whatever it is that needs to come out of your body gets stuck, mashed down and then more gets crammed in on top of it. Keep reading . . .

The Sun conjunct Mercury needs to unload the overload. So you see, this aspect carries a huge prodrome. Remember from my past writings, the prodome is the early symptom indicating 'incoming'. The prodrome in disease or illness shows up the same way in Astrology. You can 'feel' the load of the Sun conjunct Mercury because it is heavy. It's coming, whatever it is. You feel it.

Imagine if you unloaded the overload. What if you brain dumped? What if you wrote down a list? Or went ahead and took the test? What if you unloaded and told someone about your issue, frustration or problem? What if you took a colon cleanse supplement to help your constipation? What if you took a 'kudzu' supplement to help relieve your alcohol cravings or menopausal symptoms? Better yet, what if you actually acted on your intuition?

'Think' about this for a minute. Slow down your energy and THINK about this aspect. After all, Mercury rules the mind, thoughts, thoughtfulness and thinking. Mercury rules both Gemini and Virgo. The Gemini motto is, "I think therefore I am" and the Virgo motto is, "I analyze therefore I am."

If we can easily feel the overload of the prodrome of the Sun conjunct Mercury, then that means our intuition is lit and tuning-in. While one individual may be feeling the heaviness of this aspect, another individual may be tuning into to the intuition of this aspect. It's all in how one sees, deals, handles and chooses to use the aspect. This is where we are so different in how we use Astrology. Keep reading, just a little more . . .

So expand this thinking to twins, or to two (2) mothers sharing a room in the hospital who had their babies minutes apart, in the same location (coordinates). One mother may in fact experience an aspect quite differently than the other mother, and their babies will experience or express the aspect in their birth chart differently. Or if one mother has twins, one twin may experience the 'overload' of too much information and feel the constipation (per se) of such an aspect, while the other twin will 'brain dump' and let it out.

No matter the case, everyone feels the prodrome of the aspect and lives in 'their experience' as their spirit is intended here to learn, in the way their spirit needs to learn.

In my world and intepretation of Astrology, ALL OF THE ASPECTS are intuition. They ALL have a prodrome. We see that in the 'applying' (approaching) degrees. We feel the energy coming. I purposefully write the dates of the 'applying and separating' degrees so you can sense (intuit) it coming and intuit leaving.

The Sun conjunct Mercury is ONE OF THE BIGGEST symptoms and expressions of intuition, but if you don't use it and simply sit in - I knew it, I knew that, I said that, I always say that, I alway said that . . . then really what Good is it? Instead of holding on creating constipation in your brain, find a way to take a big dump and get it out of your body.

The overload of 'anything' on the body, mind or spirit is simply too much and will only create other issues, including health issues, relationship issues, financial issues, etc. You must get it out of you and take a big dump.

I don't have the Sun conjunct Mercury in my chart, but I do have Jupiter in Aquarius, which is expanded energy because whatever Jupiter touches E-X-P-A-N-D-S and knowledge (Aquarius). The Aquarian motto is, "I know therefore I am".

Jupiter in Aquarius is THE know-it-all placement. Hey! What can I say? God created me! He did it! I'm just on my job and doing my job as God intended.

Anyway, I 'brain dump' through this website and get all of that information out of me. Imagine if I didn't do that. Seriously! I would be interrupting and dominating conversations trying to get this information out of me. Not to mention my body would be hoarding all of this knowledge and energy, which could in turn cause me health issues. Heck no! I'm going to dump on you! (winky wink)

P.S. - Jodi Arias really does have the Sun conjunct Mercury in her natal chart. Don't be like her.

On another note - this coming June, July and August 2024, I will 'not' be writing ANY Natal Charts or Solar Returns. It is also quite possible that I may stop sometime in May 2024, I just don't know that date yet. I'm lining up my Life so that I can take this break in order to complete a different project, which will take all of three (3) months to accomplish.

I believe EVERYONE should have their Natal Chart, which is pretty is the fingerprint of your Life. It never changes. At least 'they' haven't found a way to jack with your fingerprint like 'they' have your DNA. (Insert massive dose of smartassiness.) Thank God, the Natal Chart also reveals where health issues will arise, so there's that. Anyway, the Natal Chart never changes and it is something you are always working through and working on.

The Solar Return is the report that reveals what your 'year' will look like from one birthdate to another. So if your birthday is today, then your Solar Return chart begins and it will last until your birthday next year. Now keep in mind the Universe does not speak our language as in - Monday, March 11, 2024. The Universe rolls by math and coordinates. So your birthday may have actually been yesterday or maybe it is tomorrow, when your birth 'date' is March 11th.

The Solar Return is when the Sun 'returns' to the same degree and minute it was when you were born. So that could be a day earlier or a day later, depending on your residence (location) today, which is likely different than where you were born.

Some people will choose to go on a vacation on their birthday to change their location for their Solar Return and the Astrologer will calculate that location, but I do not agree with that method. It's not the Truth. You can't fool or trick the Universe. The Truth is it's a vacation, and you will still have to return back home to your Life, to your mortgage, your bills, your relationships, your neighbors, your job and dot dot dot.

In the Solar Return, each house represents one month. There are 12 houses, there are 12 months.

I advise you to get your Solar Return 'at least' three (3) months before you birthday, simple because the planets could already be coming into the 'orb of influence' and you would be feeling the energy.

For instance, Venus moves into Pisces today impacting all birthdays from today until April 5, 2024. Those of you with birthdays between today and April 5th will already in this Venus in Pisces energy. You need to know this, especially since Venus rules both Love and money.

So there ya' go. So I will take a chart writing break during June, July and August 2024, and if I get to the place that I want to be earlier, then I will start that break even earlier, which would be sometime in May 2024.
